aidan-gillett“When I met Paul I was an actor suffering from a severe lack of confidence in my abilities and facing the distinct possibility of being kicked out of drama school. One session with him and I was back and ready to work.

Two years later I was standing in front of 100 cadets, shouting orders at them in American dialect, while a film crew led by Tim Van Patten filmed and Capt Dale Dye watched on. Talk about a moment requiring confidence.

If it weren’t for Paul I don’t think I’d still be acting. No one can control those moments of utter brilliance when everything falls into place and you discover the reason why we do what we do. Not even the great Sir Laurence could ever put his finger on it. But Paul can raise your consistent level of performance like no other teacher I’ve ever met.”

Testimonials

I've been using Paul's approach to acting for about 5 years now... Working on a show with such a high turn over of material (Home & Away), an approach to acting that promotes instinct and honesty without tedious over analysis is not only extremely valuable, but incredibly liberating.

Paul's approach to acting is direct, effective and completely doable. More importantly, it elevates material to a level that's exciting to play and gives it an edge that is (hopefully) exciting to watch.

- Stephen Peacocke

"Paul has a huge amount of experience in watching screen tests and as a result I believe he has incredible insight into what is needed in preparation for an audition....Paul helped me prepare for my Underbelly audition and I do attribute the success of this audition to his mentorship."

- Lieschen Pogue

“Paul's method/teachings of learning lines unconsciously are pure gold! And are an integral part of staying and living/ experiencing your role !!!”
